It is named after the distinguished Jesuit Gustavo Le Paige, who dedicated most of his life to the search, collection and study of archaeological remains in the area. The result of this long work is the museum (inaugurated in 1957) that currently bears his name, and which contains the largest collection of archaeological pieces from the Atacameño culture (about 380,000). It is undoubtedly one of the tourist attractions of the town of San Pedro.



It currently depends on the Universidad Católica del Norte.
